I'm trying out your above example but having a little trouble. Here is what I put into the phpinclude template:

ob_start();
$testing = "TESTING 1 2 3";
ob_end_clean();

With my limited knowledge of php, I'm sure it is just syntax issues or some other problem that is right under my nose.

Thanks for your help.

You don't need ob_start(); ob_end_clean(); part. Simply putting this line:

PHP Code:

$testing = "TESTING 1 2 3"; 


will do the trick.

If you can't get value of $testing variable displayed, this would be because you put it in the wrong template. Please notice that there are 4 of forumhome_forumbit_level*.* templates and not all of them are parsed in your forum home. Which one or ones are used depends on different conditions so try to to put the variable in each or one by one to understand how and when they are displayed.

Also if you want a advise, considering the fact that you use this variable in only forumhome_forumbit_level*.* templates, you don't need to put it in phpinclude template. Just put your variable in index.php right after require('./global.php'); I personally do not fancy phpinclude solutions much as they waste unnecessary server power/memory.
